- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup mashed banana (1 medium banana)
Brown Sugar Frosting
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoon milk
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Blondies
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper and coat with nonstick spray. Set aside

Brown Sugar Frosting
- In a medium saucepan melt butter. Add brown sugar and milk and stir until mixture comes to just a boil. Remove from heat, allow to cool for 5 minutes.
- Stir in powdered sugar with a whisk.
- Spread on top of blondies and allow frosting to set and blondies to cool completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
If you choose to brown the butter, melt butter in saucepan and continue cooking, once it’s melted by swirling the butter in the pan until butter reaches a deep golden brown color.

Love sheet cakes! Blondie are even better with bananas You are a blogger fail, you simply are too good for titles. There really is a lot of stigmas around blogging too; too bad they fail to see who great is are as an individual artist
Sound great!
Omg that frosting!!! I can’t stop looking at these, actually. I like my desserts simple and rich, and these babies qualify big time —Pinning and sharing!
I’m just shocked he didn’t know who you were. Can’t believe you had to explain yourself. Ugh. Duhhhh, I make the best desserts on the internet. I’m S-H-E-L-L-Y.
I think these are going on the list to make this week! Pinned!
I guess I’m nasty, because I’m definitely going to brown that butter! Best line I’ve heard in awhile! These look delightful!
Getting ready to go on a vacation to stay in a cabin and needed an easy , portable dessert, and I had a bunch of ripe bananas to get rid of . I doubled the recipe and used about a trap of baking powder also, along with 4 1/2 small very ripe bananas. I make a lot of banana cakes,, and I have to say, this my be my new favorite! The icing was divine! (Of course, I used heavy cream instead of milk, just because I had some). My 12 year olds eyes lit up when he took his first bite of his banana bar, and he said , “mmmm”. Score!
So glad you liked them!!
I love how supremely moist these babies are! My #1 fave thing to make is blondies. In any way I can. 1 stick of butter, 1 c of flour, 1 c brown sugar…you can never go wrong. Genius to put bananas in them!! And the frosting. Brown sugar frosting is the best! pinned
